Built into the system of things
During my stay here in Utah I've noticed some rather odd things. The state just got their transit system for the Olympics a few years ago (at least the train system and much of the bus system, a small bus system was in place prior) and is still very uncomfortable using it. The busses run in odd configurations to odd points with few stops. On the busses they have 1940's pulp-cartoon style advertisements informing riders about the basic etiquette of transit, particularly in relation to the train and how a bus pass works. The LRT itself is designed like a cross between a commuter train (it stretches from Salt Lake to Sandy) and a street car (the platforms are about the same hight of a normal curb and you step up three steps when you get on the train). The other thing I've noticed is the state's grasp of the internet leaves them like troglydites crawling around in a technological murk. Pretty generally people are paying more for less, more money for inferior, slower service. It's late at night and thesee thoughts aren't really well formed.
I've taken some great pictures, will post when I get them on my computer.
